Destroy Jin and conquer Song, and carry the Northern Expedition through to the end

Chapter 307 How can I pass down my legacy to my descendants?

Although Grand Duke Luo was willing to die for his country, he was destined to be disappointed.

This doesn't mean that Grand Duke Luo can't find his cousin Daliang Yu, but that Daliang Yu may not be able to hold on until the day he meets his cousin.

When Li Gongzuo led the navy to land, broke through the Jin army's Chenjiadao camp, and defeated the panicked Jin army who were fighting each other all the way, Liu Huai also led his army to easily attack the Weizhen army camp.

This is not to say that the 700 people led by Liu Huai still have the ability to attack after experiencing a long-distance raid and camping in the rain.

Rather, the Weizhen Army had never thought about what to do if an enemy army sneaked up behind them without anyone noticing.

Whether it was the camp defense or the military deployment, they were all aimed at the Zhushan Pass in the southwest.

The Jin navy really used the vast area behind Zhushan as its rear base.

This led to Liu Huai breaking through the back door of the Jin army camp almost effortlessly. Seven hundred elite soldiers of the Loyal Army swarmed in and first caused chaos in the camp of the Han sailors.

"The loyal and righteous army has arrived, Shandong men, follow me to kill the Jin thieves!"

The loyal army threw torches everywhere to set fire to the tents and haystacks while shouting loudly.

They said they would follow the Loyal Army to kill the Jin bandits, but in actual execution they could not leave these Han navy behind. After all, no one knew whether there would be someone who would be loyal to the Jin Kingdom and stab the Loyal Army from behind for no reason.

Therefore, the Loyal Army called on thousands of Haner navy, but blocked the way out to the northeast and drove them directly to the southwest, which was behind the Weizhen Army.

Anyone who tries to escape will be killed in the face.

Under the pressure of knives and fire, thousands of Han sailors fled south crying and shouting as if their camp was blown up, and instantly defeated the hundreds of Jin soldiers who came to investigate the situation.

Liu Huai once again raised the Flying Tiger flag and followed behind the army of Haner sailors.

Although there were torches and braziers in the camp at night, it was not daytime after all and was not as bright as daytime. The few Jin soldiers who were dispersed and then regrouped were often attacked head-on by the Flying Tiger flag as soon as they realized that the enemy was approaching, and were killed head-on and defeated.

Soon, Liu Huai led his troops to break through half of the Weizhen Army camp and pushed the front line to Gao Shi, facing the Jin army fighting in the southwest front from a distance.

Gao Shi stood on the watchtower, looked to the northeast, then to the southwest, his face pale, but he had only one thought.

Why was he so confident at that time that he could still hold his base and maintain the situation in Shandong after most of the navy moved south?

Was I crazy at that time?
Thinking of this, Gao Shi was a little surprised again.

Why can’t we defend it?
Haven’t there been enough disturbances in Shandong in recent years?
Not to mention those fragmentary things, the navy personally experienced the Donghai Rebellion and the Kaishan Zhao Rebellion.

Especially the East China Sea Rebellion, where tens of thousands of bandits seemed powerful, but were defeated in one battle by 900 naval soldiers.

Now Gao Shi has 5,000 troops from the Weizhen Army, one of the 32 regular armies. How can he not stabilize the situation in Shandong?
Even if we cannot stabilize Shandong, can't we protect ourselves?
Although Gao Shi realized early on that the situation was not right due to his many years of military career, and wanted to create a fait accompli by burning the ships so that the entire army could retreat, he never expected that the Loyal Army would arrive too quickly and fight too fiercely.

How did these loyal thieves get around from behind?
There was no warning on Chenjia Island, so they could have come from over Zhushan Mountain.

In October, braving the rain, walking on mountain paths, keeping their bodies hidden, and organizing a desperate raid at night, each of these actions taken individually is just ordinary, but when combined together, it is something that only the strongest army in the world can do.

When Gao Shi realized this, he felt like beating his chest and stamping his feet.

If I had known this, why would I wait for an opportunity to burn the ships before leaving? I would have retreated the day the main force moved south!
"Steward, our general sent me to complain. He can still hold the line for now, but if he delays any longer and the loyal thieves attack from behind, he will be completely unable to hold his ground. I hope the general can make a decision soon!"

A military messenger came on horseback, spoke loudly at the foot of the watchtower, and then rode away again.

Gao Shi knew what Daliang Yu meant, which was to send a small number of soldiers and horses, or even burn the camp directly, to delay the enemy troops coming from behind.

No matter how powerful the loyal army that went around the rear was, they would definitely be exhausted after experiencing such a toss. Even if the Haner sailors who were taken hostage were counted, their combat power would not be strong enough to be invincible.

But at this time, the main force of the Weizhen Army was all on the southwest front and it was difficult to withdraw them for the time being, so a small-scale force could be used to hold them back, and then turn around to deal with them after winning the frontal victory.

As for how to win, Gao Shi needs to take the last few hundred people and his general flag to launch a desperate attack on the main force of the Loyal Army in the southwest.

It was nighttime, and poor visibility often led to poor command, leaving ordinary soldiers unable to hear orders or see the situation clearly, leaving them in a dilemma of fighting on their own. However, fighting at night had both advantages and disadvantages.

An army that is semi-out of control will often rush forward according to the general trend, but will also retreat in an instant according to the general trend.

In a night battle, nothing is surprising. As long as the general trend is driven, miracles can be created easily.

However, Gao Shi didn't want to fight to the death.

He really wanted to pull Daliangyu's ears and tell him loudly that the Shandong rebel army was so powerful. He, Gao Shi, was a fool and couldn't see it. Could it be that smart people like Su Baoheng and Wanyan Zhengjia couldn't see it either?
The five thousand Weizhen soldiers have become abandoned pawns. Don't fight anymore! It's meaningless!

After standing there in a daze for a moment, Gao Shi gritted his teeth and walked down the tower with a few trusted men. When he came to the big flag, he shouted, "Hold the big flag! Wait a moment, and follow me to kill the bandits!"

After saying that, Gao Shi ignored the flag bearer's instant excitement and continued to walk back with a few confidants. After arriving at the stable, Gao Shi grabbed the reins and jumped on the horse, but did not go to the southwest front, but galloped towards Zhushan in the north.

There are still a few small paths there. Although they cannot allow the army to advance, they can still allow a few people to escape.

The dozens of soldiers standing under the general's banner were excited at first, then became hesitant after waiting for two quarters of an hour, and finally became panicked when Gao Shi still did not return after waiting for half an hour.

By this time, Liu Huai had pushed the battle line under the banner of General Weizhen, and the driven Han sailors had begun to attack from behind Daliangyu's troops.

Daliang Yu waited for a long time, but did not see Gao Shi arrive with his flag. When he turned around, he saw the Weizhen flag broken to the ground in the surging crowd, and he could not help but be stunned.

By this time, the Jin army had suffered hundreds of casualties, and the more than 3,000 Weizhen troops were barely maintaining their front line relying on the wooden fences in the trenches in front of them. Under the attack of the Zhongyi Army, they were like dead leaves in the autumn wind, and were on the verge of collapse.

At this time, the Jin army, which was further back, saw the powerful flag disappear and immediately became panicked. Then they saw a large group of chaotic troops rushing from behind, and they could no longer hold on.

"Let's run away. This war is impossible to fight." At this point, Daliang Yu was also discouraged. He said to his subordinates: "Don't stay in Shandong anymore. Escape to your hometown in Liaodong. Shandong is no longer under the control of the Jin Dynasty."

However, Da Liangyu's action was too late. Before the military order was issued, the loyal army general Lei Ben had already led more than ten swordsmen to break through the front line of defense and killed Da Liangyu.

The Jin army was so invincible all around that there was no one to stop them, and they began to flee in all directions.

Seeing this, Daliang Yu didn't even think about escaping. He just stood there, closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Today, it is my turn to accomplish this great feat!"

Lei Ben was covered in blood. Seeing that this general-looking man did not resist, he had an idea and suppressed his murderous intent, knocking the man off his horse with the back of his knife.

"Tied!"

Lei Ben pointed his sword at the lying Da Liangyu and said to his guards, then stepped forward and tried to seize the flag.

The personal guard holding the Meng'an flag had been staring blankly at the Flying Tiger flag that was getting closer and closer behind him. He turned his head and saw Lei Ben rushing towards him, and was terrified for a moment.

This soldier, who should theoretically be the bravest in the entire army, turned around and fled without even caring about the flag.

"Bah, coward." Lei Ben was wearing heavy armor and had been fighting for a long time. He was a little tired, so he did not chase the flag bearer. Instead, he spat at him from a distance. At the same time, he raised the Meng'an flag high, lit it again, and waved it in the night sky.

The morale of the Jin army completely collapsed, and they began to flee in panic after being attacked from both sides.

Watching this scene from afar, Liu Huai wiped the blood off his face and felt much more relaxed. "Gather the troops and shout with me, great victory!"

"Big victory!"

"Big victory!"

More and more people began to scream, and more and more Haner sailors stopped. In the chaotic night battlefield, gradually, there was only one voice.

"Big victory!"
